Wild South: Hunting and Fly Fishing the Southern Hemisphere

While based in New Zealand’s stunning South Island, Peter Ryan’s writing and images have been published in books and magazines around the world. In Wild South he reaches out to the great hunting and angling destinations of southern Africa, New Zealand, Australia, South America and more. These are big places and Peter Ryan covers big ground — from scrabbling around dizzy mountain heights after elusive deer; encounters with buffalo, elephants, lions and rabid hyenas; to reflections on the qualities of gun dogs, gun stocks and hunters themselves; or just the pure pleasure of fishing peaceful back-country lakes and rivers.

Wild South is an absorbing insight into a world and lifestyle many of us will never experience that captures perfectly a love of fly fishing, bird hunting, gun dogs and big game in some of the last great frontier.
